PE Students Bowling at Bellwood
Bowling is a sport that appeals to everyone: young or old, weak or strong, children or adults.
The modern game of tenpins had its origin in northern Italy. The Italians called their game 'bowls". Rounded stones without finger holes and held in open hand were used as balls. In 1623 Dutch settlers introduced the game to America as ninepins. It was played on grass or clay. Later in the 1840's a Dutchman added one more pin and called it "tenpins" In 1895 the American Bowling Congress was organized, and it formulated the rules for bowling as we know and today.
